Description: | Alcest - 2005 - 2019 Discography Took awhile to obtain this lossless collection of Alcest, does not contain their demo album. Hope you all enjoy! Alcest is a French blackgaze and post-metal band from Bagnols-sur-Cèze, Occitanie, France. They are regarded as pioneers of the post black metal subgenre, blackgaze, which is a mixture of black metal and shoegaze. The band was founded and is still leaded by Neige ('Neige' means 'Snow', real name: Stéphane Paut). The band started as a one-man project, before two members, Aegnor (guitarist) and Argoth (bassist) joined to form a trio, and recorded a four-song demo, titled Tristesse Hivernale (Winter sadness). The demo is dramatically different from the modern sound of Alcest, as it is more focused on being raw black metal. Not long after, Aegnor and Argoth left the band, leaving Alcest as a one-man project again. With this minimalist approach, Neige recorded the Le Secret EP, which began their focus torwards a blackgaze sound. In 2007, they signed to Prophecy Productions, and began work on the debut album, Souvenirs d'un autre monde (Memories from another world). The album attracted more attention than the Le Secret EP, as the album had more of a shoegaze and post-rock sound than Le Secret. The album recieved many positive reviews, and began the popularity of Alcest as a band. In 2009, Alcest recorded a split EP with another blackgaze band, Les Discrets. During the recording of the EP, the drummer Winterhalter joined Alcest, and made Alcest into a two-man project. In 2010, they released their second album, titled Écailles de Lune. (Translated as 'Moon Scales' The album returned to more of the black metal style of Le Secret, featuring harsh vocals and an overal heavier style, while still being light overall. In 2012, the band released the live album, BBC Live Session. The same year, they released their third album, Les Voyages de l'Âme. (The journeys of the soul) Neige has described the album as a continuation of his effort to describe his experiences of 'another world' in visions as a child, and as 'an attempt to explore this very strange esoteric experience.' Les Voyages is inspired by these even more than any previous album, with Neige saying that 'The goal of this album was to push the concept of the band to the maximum. All the lyrics are very clear this time because before I was speaking about this but taking other directions to avoid that stuff. But the lyrics of the new album are really speaking about this and nothing else.' In 2014, Alcest released their fourth album, Shelter. The album takes a heavy step back from metal and takes more heavy influence from shoegaze and post-rock. As described by Neige: 'It’s just a safe place to escape, this secret thing we all have when life is going too fast and you are full of anxiety', adding that 'This shelter could be anything — a person, a movie, music. It’s something that reminds you in a way of who you are, like a mirror, and convinces you to get lost.' In a separate interview, he explained that 'We all have things that are helping us. I wouldn’t say that I’m a depressive person because I’m not, but I can have darker moments, and it really helps me. ‘Shelter’ is about that.' In 2016, the band released their fifth studio album, Kodama. Kodama takes a more dark approach to the band's style, while maintaining being light. Kodama is the first album that features Indria Saray on bass in the studio, while he has played with the band live before, this was his first studio album with the band. Neige has said that the album is heavily influenced by Japanese culture and by Hayao Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke. In January of 2019, the band announced the production of their upcoming album, Spiritual Instinct. The band chose to sign with Nuclear Blast Records for the album. The album goes back to the demo days of the band, playing in more of an atmospheric black metal style rather than blackgaze. On Spotify’s Metal Talks, Neige said the album’s closing track, Spiritual Instinct, was written following the loss of a friend who committed suicide.
